Do you believe the Constitution is a living breathing document that should be interpreted by our rulers to allow any action they momentarily deem appropriate?

Of course not. I'm a strict constructionist. You have ignored the earlier key question on what is the the basis for your rights.

I think you may be confusing which question you asked me. The Commerce clause, which you asked me about, was designed to prevent one state from setting up trade barriers against goods entering or passing through from another state. It has nothing to do with how a State uses those goods.

You asked Doctor Stochastic about the basis for rights. Since the Creator gave us free will each individual has the right to choose how long to continue his life and will be answerable to the Creator but not to some Government official.
